Now isn’t that strange when I was a kid I terribly wanted to have a scooty like that, while at that time scooties weren’t common at all.
This photo has been taken from a book of nursery rhymes that I had won as a prize in the first standard. Instead of reading the poems I used to watch this photo all the time, yearning to have a scooty like that. It was a strange desire because I already had a bike but still I wanted it.
If you notice this photo has a cute pup too but that didn’t appeal to me. I never asked my parents for pets. It was only scooty that had gripped my imagination.
I laugh when I think about it now. Did you have any such fancy. Something that you terribly wanted to have in childhood?
I once wanted a violin terribly. So much that I quit eating for a day (a day was my extent of bhook hartaal!
), even wrote a long begging letter to my Nana asking him to pressurize my parents into buying me a violin. I wanted to learn the instrument but of course, my parents were like, “Hawww!! gana bajana sheekna hai??!! NEVER!”

I saw Mary poppins and the song where they jump in the book fascinated me – so I drew a picture of a perfect city in a drawing book when I was barely nine and kept asking my naani to pray that I get what my heart wants – didnt give her details
My cousins and my sisters and me used to jump on the book trying to get in there.

OG: That’s so funny! And yes, parents always come up with numerous excuses like that
Asma: Amazing childhood. See we all do such silly things. I wanted to make something that could fly

DFR: What type of books?
I don’t hate any of my books. They taught me a lot in different ways

Mujhe to abhi bhi aqal nahin aaee – I still read and write stories –
If we lose fiction in our lives – the reality will kill us in seconds…
